Tired Arguments
Lyrics
Intro
Low mileage
So they say

Verse 1
The salesman says
"She's a beauty"
Like he's introducing
A family member
The buyer nods
Suspiciously
Both pretending
This isn't the third car
They've looked at today
---
Pre-Chorus
Same conversation
New paint job
---
Chorus
Tired arguments
Back again
One says "value"
One says "depends"
Tired arguments
Round and round
Everybody bargaining
For something
They can't quite name
---
Verse 2
One careful owner
Excellent condition
Future possibilities
Included free
The buyer sees
Weekend road trips
The salesman sees
Next month's commission
Both are dreaming
A little
---
Pre-Chorus
Different reasons
Same smile
---
Chorus
Tired arguments
Never end
A better deal
Around the bend
Tired arguments
Old as dust
Half negotiation
Half hope
---
Bridge – Rap
New tires
Good brakes
Strong engine
Small mistakes
Reasonable offer
Final price
Nobody believes
The first number twice
Anyway
---
Break
Kick the tires
Walk away
Come back later
Same day
---
Final Chorus
Tired arguments
Looking back
Most of life
Works a bit like that
Tired arguments
Here we stand
Trying to trade
What we have
For what we imagine
